Frieda’s Organic Polenta

This is a fantastic convenience food, and one that meets the no-fat vegan guidelines of Dr. Esselstyn’s Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Frieda’s makes several flavors, including Sun-Dried Tomato & Garlic, Garlic & Basil, Mushroom & Onion, Green Chili & Cilantro, and Traditional. You can buy this product in local supermarkets here in the Pacific Northwest, and online at Amazon. It is worth a trip to Frieda’s own website, where they’ve got a nice searchable array of interesting new recipes that can be adapted for no oil, such as their Sauteed Vegetable Polenta which I’ve adapted for this blog. In any event, this is terrific stuff, and easy, affordable and convenient.

What is happening here? I'm a Seattle native who has adopted a diet of 100% no-oil plant-based nutrition. My guide? Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease". I've been given an alternative to the chronic illness that has plagued three generations of my family... heart disease, diabetes, stroke. This blog is my personal log of how to cook, what to eat, and where to dine out as a no-fat vegan in the Pacific Northwest.
